Glass, they say, is never quite a solid. It is a sort of liquid, suspended in its own interpretation of time. Never is this more apparent than in these hand-blown glasses from Malfatti.

Created in upstate New York of borosilicate glass (lead-free, of superior durability, resistant to chemical and temperature shock, it’s the stuff they use to make scientific laboratory glass) each of these feather-light pieces is unique in its imperfections, each tells its own new history. 

Hold one up and gaze through it. Better yet, fill it with something delightful - on the rocks.

Pair of medium glasses, 4 - 4 1/4 inches high, 8 - 10 ounces.  Dishwasher safe.
